Amazing Staircase
I would so love to have a staircase like this in my future home. The woodwork is detailed with embellishments. This staircase is in the Stephens Hotel, on the SE corner of Montana and Park Streets. There was one flash unit at the top of the stairs pointed towards the camera and one behind the …
Monster Truck at Montana Resources
The size of the equipment at MRI amazes me. Wow. Just look at the size of the guy walking next to the truck (you didn’t even see him he’s so small, did you?). Thanks so much to Tad and Mike for letting me in to the mine and driving me around for a few hours …
Thick and Curvey: The Schwinn Breeze
This Schwinn Breeze is part of the sidewalk sale I photographed on Sunday. I couldn’t resist the multicolored rust against the bright blue Breeze. And the curves of this thing is amazing. Bikes just aren’t this beautiful anymore. My first big kid bike was a Schwinn. First I had a rainbow banana seat bike, then …
Red Upholstery
This fine ruby red foot stool has obviously been used to its maximum. And left outside to rot, which doesn’t help its condition. Anything metal is rusted, anything red is scratched, partially rubbed off and dirty. I love photographing these types of things.
Sidewalk Sale!
If you want to grab my attention, just stick colorful rustic chairs with their paint peeling on the side of the road, and you’ve got me. That’s what happened this morning on my travels to Walkerville. There they were, a line of chairs ready for me to take a peak at and tempting me to …
Pigeons Galore
Pigeons. They aren’t the smartest creatures. They fly into glass, thinking it’s an escape route, when clearly the water-stained surface is dirty and obviously not the way out. Besides their small brains, they are actually an attractive bird, their red eyes contrasting their green necks, their gray wings looking soft like felt. Too bad their …
Red and Yellow
This colorful box (electrical box? Breaker? Alarm?) sits on the corner of Park and Wyoming Streets, on the East side of Rediscoveries. EDIT: Adding information from Bob Knutson “The box is what they call a “safety switch”. Inside are fuses and an open blade disconnect. The idea is that when the handle is pulled down …
Parking Meters
Parking meters are a rare item in Butte. There are only two parking lots that have them that I’m aware of, and those are the two lots on the corner of Park and Main streets (NE and SE sides of the street). I figured I might as well try and exercise my creativity by making …
